Army Indigenous community

Army supports the Australian Government’s Closing the Gap commitment made in 2008 to improve the lives of Indigenous Australians. The Army Indigenous Strategy, which was originally authorised in November 2008, is updated biennially with the latest review released in June 2014.

In 2014, the NAIDOC Week theme was ‘Serving Country: Centenary and Beyond’. This offered an opportunity for us to acknowledge all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander men and women who have served with distinction in Australia’s military engagements over the past 100 years.
